Sadly, animal abandonment is nothing new in our society. Whether the poor things are horrifically abused before being left for dead, or far too young to withstand the elements someone has so cruelly left them in, each case highlights one of the worst sides of humanity.
But, thankfully, for as many jerks as there are in the world, there are also those who selflessly extend their kindness to animals in need. People like this woman in Romania who was shocked by what she found inside a cardboard box while enjoying a walk.
Inside the box were four adorable, tiny black puppies.
Fortunately for the sweet youngsters, the woman who found them happened to work for Animal Protection Association Minis Arad, a non-profit organization for animals in Romania.
She brought each cutie in for medical care and much-needed affection.
There’s no telling how long they had been left to freeze in the bitter winter weather.
They definitely wouldn’t have lasted much longer in the cold without being found by their rescuer.
The woman captured the whole heartbreaking ordeal on video. The little guys’ cries for help will make tears flow, so grab some tissues before pressing play.

Thank goodness for organizations like Romania’s APAM and other rescue groups around the world for reminding us that kindness does exist, despite such extreme examples of cruelty. With their help, hopefully we will be able to outnumber the awful animal abusers and make stories like this a thing of the past.
